Chapter 2 Electricity profiles

This chapter provides electricity profiles and a R coding technique. Electricity profiles are illustrated to give an insight into profile behavior. R coding technique are given in order to understand the process flow and manage the big data obtained from several sources in the organization.

2.1 Initial settings

Before the project starts, packages are required as follows:

• A tidyverse package is a bunch of packages to handle with a data analysis (for more information click here). It consists of data manipulation and visualization as follows:
  • A ggplot2 package is for data visualization.
  • A dplyr package is for data manipulation.
  • A tidyr package is for data tidying.
  • A readr package is for data import.
  • A purrr package is for functional programming.
  • A tibble package is a modern reimagining of the data.frame.
  • A stringr package is for strings.
  • A forcats package is for factors.
  • A lubridate package is for date and time.
• A readxl package is used for read data from Excel into R.
• A scales package is applied to scale plots in the ggplot2 package.
• A glue package interprets strings literal. The package embeds R expressions and inserts into argument string.
• A knitr package is a lightweight API’s designed to give users full control of the output without heavy coding work. In this project, the package is used for making a HTML.

library(tidyverse) #For data manipulation
library(readxl) #For reading the excel sheet
library(scales)
library(glue)
library(knitr)
library(plotly)

Theme and lines for figures are set in a variable named Themeline as follows:

• theme_bw() function provides a black and white theme.
• theme() function applied for setting theme and line represented in plots.
• linepalette1 and linepalette1 variables set line colors.

ThemeLine <- 
  theme_bw() +
  theme(
    panel.border=element_rect(fill=NA),
    panel.grid.minor = element_line(color = NA), 
    #    axis.title=element_text(size=5),
    #    axis.text.x = element_text(hjust=1,size = 10, angle = 0),
    axis.line=element_line(colour="black"),
    panel.background=element_rect(fill = "white"),
    panel.grid.major.x=element_line(linetype="dashed",colour="grey",linewidth = 0.5),
    panel.grid.major.y = element_blank(),
    # panel.grid.major=element_blank(),
    strip.background=element_rect(fill="white", colour="white"),
    strip.text.x = element_text(size=10, colour = "black", angle = 0,face="bold"),
    axis.text.x=element_text(size = 10,angle=45, vjust=0.9, hjust=1, margin = unit(c(t = 0.3, r = 0, b = 0, l = 0), "cm")),
    axis.text.y=element_text(size = 10,margin = unit(c(t = 0, r = 0.3, b = 0, l = 0), "cm")),
    legend.text = element_text(size = 10),
    legend.title = element_text(size = 10),
    axis.ticks.length=unit(-0.15,"cm")
  )
linepalette1 <- c("#4DAF4A","#FF7F00","#377EB8","#E41A1C","#984EA3","#F781BF","#8DD3C7","#FB8072","#80B1D3","#FDB462","#B3DE69","#FCCDE5","#D9D9D9","#BC80BD","#CCEBC5","#FFED6F","#7f878f","#A65628","#FFFF33")

The peak, minimun in the unit of MW, and an electricity sale to MEA in GWh from the profile are calculated. The electricity sale to MEA (in GWh) is calculated by the summation of profile in MW divided by 2000.

The reason to divide by 2,000 is that the profile is given a time stamp in every 30-min. There are 17,520 values. Therefore, the profile is divided by 2 to get the results in every 1 hr.. We divided the output by 1,000 to convert the unit from MWh to GWh (see equation (2.1)).

\[\begin{equation} Ene_{t}=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{17520} (profile_{t,i})}{2*1000} \tag{2.1} \end{equation}\]

Where, \(Ene_{t}\) denotes an calculated energy (electricity) in year \(t\).
\(profile_{t,i}\) denotes a generation in the unit of MW in year \(t\) at a time stamp \(i\).
\(i\) denotes a time stamp in a 30-minute interval. Therefore, there are 17,520 intervals in a year (8,760 hrs.).

# Summary data ####
maxv <- ceiling(max(profile$MEA)) # Get a peak MW
minv <- floor(min(profile$MEA)) # Get a min MW
energy <- sum(profile$MEA)/2000 # Calculate the energy

The peak and minimum MW days are also needed to assess in order to provide the maximum and minimum a saled electricity from EGAT to MEA.

peak_day <- profile %>% #Find a peak day
            group_by(year) %>% 
            filter(MEA == max(MEA)) %>% 
            pull(datetime)
min_day <- profile %>% #Find a peak day
           group_by(year) %>% 
           filter(MEA == min(MEA)) %>% 
           pull(datetime)

Load factor is calculated by the energy in equation (2.1) divided a maximum energy. A maximum energy is the peak multiplied by 8760 hours. Result is presented in a percentage.

\[\begin{equation} LF_{t}=\frac{Energy_{t}}{Peak_{d,h} * 8760}*100 \tag{2.2} \end{equation}\]

Where, \(LF_{t}\) denotes the load factor at year \(t\) in percentage.
\(Energy_{t}\) denotes the calculated energy from equation (2.1) at year \(t\) in GWh.
\(Peak_{d,h}\) denotes the peak electricity sale on the date \(d\) at time \(h\).

load_factor <- percent((energy*10^3)/(maxv*8760), 
                       accuracy = 0.01, 
                       decimal.mark = ".")

Create a table to store relevant data.

summary <- tibble(peak_day = peak_day,
                  min_day = min_day,
                  peak_mw = maxv, 
                  min_mw = minv, 
                  energy_gwh = energy,
                  load_factor = load_factor) # combine all data in 1 table

In 2019, the electricity sale to MEA by EGAT reached it peak 9,526 MW on 2019-04-25 14:00:00. The energy (electricity) sale to MEA was 54,939.73 GWh. The summary of the electricity sale to MEA by EGAT in 2019 is given in Table 2.2.

The electricity profile

\[\begin{equation} $Prf_{r,t,h}=\ Prf_{PEA,t,h} + Prf_{DC,t,h}$ \tag{2.3} \end{equation}\]

Where, \(Prf_{r,t,h}\) denotes an calculated profile in region \(r\), year \(t\), and time \(h\) (MW).
\(Prf_{PEA,t,h}\) denotes a profile in PEA from each region in year \(t\) at time \(h\) (MW).
\(Prf_{DC,t,h}\) denotes a profile from direct customer in each PEA region in year \(t\) at time \(h\) (MW).
